Made Of Honour?

Tonight I watched the movie ‘Made of Honour’ with Patrick Dempsey…

Seen it? And what were your thoughts? I didn’t like it. I felt sort of bad, my dad saw it for $5 so he bought it for me as a surprise and it turned out to be a shocker. All I can say is boy am I lucky I forced my 9 year old sister to go to bed!

If you haven’t seen it the story begins with a college guy entering into a girls room and hopping into her bed…

You then see them 10 years later only to establish that he is a total man-slut. I do not care how much Patrick Dempsey’s eyes sparkle. That is just not on for me. Needless to say when his best friend gets engaged he realises he’s in love with her and has a sudden change of perspective on the idea of marriage so the story follows his quest to win her love.

It doesn’t make sense. How could a girl so innocent and seemingly pure be in love with a guy so blantant about his spoiled sexuality? Sure he could be a really nice guy and a good friend. There’s nothing against being friends with those sort of people. But marrying them? That’s another story. Asking them to dedicate themselves to you seems like a pointless task with not much outlook of success.

I know, I know – it’s just a movie but I can’t help but notice the same life style choices made by real people in real life. Real people watch these sort of movies and are told, ‘yeah it’s ok to sleep around. It’s cool to have someone different every night. You don’t have to be committed. After you’ve had your fun, eventually you will find the right person, fall in love and live happily ever after -no regrets.’

Yeah right! For all you girls out there, tell me something and this goes for the guys too. You are worth it. You are worth the wait. Don’t fall for Hollywood’s lies. Don’t play hurtful games. Happily ever after may come for you, and I pray that it does. But if you get tangled up now, it is going to take a lot of extra work to achieve your happily ever after.

Don’t follow the world. Set yourself apart.
